Part III: Upper Level
by: Yeidi Rios
A lot has
happened at our library since I last wrote about the lower level. It gives me
great joy to include in this post a recently assembled new space created for our students. This will be the last post of a series of posts designed
to describe the different areas of the Dick Smith Library. The only floor
left to discuss is the upper level.
The upper
level counts with much more amenities and little private sections for
maximum productivity. For starters, as soon as you go up the stairs there is a
lounging area near the office, a copy station including a recently acquired
color printer, 15 more desktops, a laptop vending machine, and the Maker Spot. This
last room is one of our newest additions. The Maker Spot promotes invention,
creation and exploration through the use of modern technologies with the
assistance of professional staff. Among the many things this room includes, is
a 3D printer, 3D scanner, Go Pros, and computer development kits for the
students to work on. The rest of the upper level includes more study areas with
comfy chairs, study tables, study rooms and group study rooms. Regarding this
last one, I can happily inform my readers that we now count with 5 new collaboration
tables equipped with computers and big screen monitors.
The Dick
Smith Library has many more resources available to everyone that forms part of
the Tarleton Community. To learn more about the library’s resources remember
you can always visit any of our reference desks located in all three floors.
Our staff is made up of well-prepared library professionals that can assist you
with all your informational needs. I hope that by now you find yourself more
familiar with the library’s resources. Hope to see you soon!
